She also supports those dealing with trauma, addictions, relationship strain, grief, and intimacy concerns. Catherine draws on practical methods so people can see real change in daily life.

Catherine has 12 years of clinical experience as an LCSW and many more years in social work overall. She has worked in inpatient psychiatric settings, outpatient mental health clinics, and correctional institutions. That variety shaped a straightforward, down-to-earth approach to care.

In sessions she keeps things warm and focused. Conversations aim at clear goals and small, doable steps. She uses methods that target thinking and behavior so people learn new ways to cope with strong feelings and old patterns.

Her practice blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused work, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas. Those methods are used to spot unhelpful thought patterns, set achievable goals, and build motivation for change. Catherine often moves between talking through problems and practicing specific skills.

People who come for help get short-term tools and longer-term strategies. Catherine works to make therapy practical and usable between sessions. She encourages steady progress and checks in on what is working as goals shift.

If you want straightforward support for anger, trauma, or mood concerns, Catherine offers an approach that focuses on concrete steps and clear goals. She aims to help clients leave sessions with something to try in everyday life.

How Catherine’s approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in a chosen direction, which can help with anger and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It offers clear exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build new coping skills for anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and she may combine elements from different approaches. The plan can shift as progress is made or new needs appear.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports using worksheets, in-the-moment skill practice, and tracking goals between sessions to keep work moving forward.
